If you are only enjoying 20% of your games, perhaps you should stop playing?Sorry but i have to disagree. Even tho i enjoy 1 or 2 games out of 10 in WoT, the rest being fail teams or fail driving by me, there are many MMOs out there who charge 15$ a month with every game content accessible to paying customers, and they survive of thrive pretty well (like WoW).
WT can't really be compared to WoT, yet. They just barely started their closed beta for tanks, and I won't try to draw any conclusions until the open beta has been out for a month. Now, you could compare it to WoWP, which generally goes badly for WG, but that's still a different subject.
well i fully realize people have the right to spend their money how they want. However, i don't understand it. For example there's a guy in my clan with all the freaking tanks in the game, spent over 10k on the game, total non-sense to me.

He obviously likes the game enough to pay money for it, why is that so hard to understand? Maybe you can understand people spending money on things they like? You know, hobbies like cars, models, RC cars or internet tanks? He obviously likes to collect tanks and you're pretty much just being a total ass about it. Not everyone has to spend money according to your standards.
Why are micro transactions evil? Would anyone pick up a copy of WOT in local Best Buy if it had a $1200 price tag on it, either straight up or with a $40 monthly installment plan? What Valve did with TF2 is the exception, if that was the rule I would shut up about this. Micro transactions are a cancer to gaming and every time someone opens their valet they are sabotaging future titles for all of us.
but you don't HAVE to pay money to play tanks, the grind is longer to get to tier X's but it can be done, you just have to play lower tiers to fund playing higher ones, i got my first tier X w/o spending a dime.
having said that i wish i'd paid 60 for the game, and maybe something for expansions instead of a monthly thing kinda like how guild wars 1 was.
yes but realize that guy like me, who don't convert gold into free experience, to get new op tier Xs when war gaming releases them, will take 5-6 months or so from scratch to grind it, by then, it has been nerfed a little. Now you have people opening their wallet who get tanks the very first day a new one come out. Fair? i don't think so.
So you don't understand why people spend money on it and think its insane, then complain how it's not fair that people who paid money get content earlier than you because they can convert exp?
Not sure if serious or just troll.
well yes, people spending insane amount are actually encouraging pay to win and all their form of derivatives whether they realize it or not. imho pay to win must die !!

In WoT, on top of paying 15$ a month, people can (and many will) pour in hundreds to gain all kind of small advantages. Premium ammos, consumables, perm camo, crew retraining at 100% etc. They can also customize their tanks with flags and emblems, and of course nothing of it is free.
The game is addictive, they have no real competition and take advantage of it, it's all fine. Like i said, we all have the right to spend our money how we want, i just don't get it.
You get access to the same tanks. Most/all premium tanks are subpar compared to equal tier equivalents... even the mighty SU 122/44 has less DPM than the SU 152 mounting the 122.
Sorry to pick a bone with you on this, but the SU 152 with the 122 gets CRAP on the RNG. "IF" it hits (which half the time the shots land outside the circle), it will bounce 50-60% of the time, track for no damage 20-30% of the time and actually damage 10-20% of the time. I have BOUNCED GOLD rounds off the REAR of a M5 Stuart in that tank.

I'm not sure how you can disagree that the people that pay money fund the game...
Are you suggesting that it would stay open without people paying? Or that it would be equally successful if they were monthly? I disagree on both counts.
